One or two points that seems lost in this whole discussion:
If Mr Wells' Shakespeare is copyrighted, exactly what use can be made of it fairly?
Also, bear in mind that, unlike an architect, whose work is paid for by the client as a service, and whose "text-work" is pointless to copy, only one sale is needed to pay for it: the commission. Anyone may use the building without the least concern about the architect.
In the case of book production, the authorship or copyright ownership governs the making of copies, and an individual sale in insufficient to pay for the work.
